Scott & all
since the screen will do spectral display concurrent with receiving... yeah....
you've sold one....

I've been waiting for Mr. Inoue's new ultimate radio for over one year; but 
I don't know if he can beat the TT or Elecraft noise blanker ( high on my 
list);
if it's cool like the 340 with a crt spectral, dual rcv   SOLD....

THE AMERICAN GUY GETS THE $ 3500 usd BUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
